Should Your Royal Oak Tenants Join a Local Neighborhood Watch?

It’s highly recommended that you make an active effort to encourage tenants to become involved in the community, and that includes important community organizations and programs, just like the neighborhood watch. When tenants are engaged in their community, they experience a more safe neighborhood while Royal Oak property owners obtain the benefits of low vacancy rates and higher property values.

What is a neighborhood watch?

Neighborhood watch is an exceptional, citizen-led program where the members build themselves, assisting with local law enforcement to prevent crime. The National Crime Prevention Council has mentioned that such programs are on the best way to reduce residential crime rates.

If there is already a neighborhood watch program in your rental property’s neighborhood, we advise broadcasting a communication encouraging your tenants to join up. Many renters are happy to contribute their time to a community that meets their needs and reflects their values, and only need that little bit of support. When tenants are invested in preserving the safety of the neighborhood, they are more likely to form positive relationships with community members, stay in the home longer, and keep your investment property from being targeted and maligned by neighbors.

A safe, protected rental home and satisfied tenants are both keys to a successful long-term investment strategy. At Real Property Management Silverstone, we strive towards excellence with property owners and our local community to manage quality rental properties. Our property management experts know how important it is to promote and sustain good relations with neighbors and community leaders. Contact us or call us at 586-992-6419 for more information.
